**Arab Nations Propose New Vision for Gaza Amid Ongoing Conflict**

**Arab leaders unveil a plan to rebuild Gaza and sideline Hamas, but critical questions about disarmament and governance remain unresolved.**

At an emergency Arab summit held in Cairo, leaders from the region proposed a new strategy for Gaza amid an impasse between Israel and Hamas. The plan seeks to rebuild the war-torn area without displacing its two million residents. It comes in stark contrast to former President Trump’s controversial suggestion of relocating Gazans to Egypt and Jordan, which faced immediate rejection from Arab states.

The proposed vision aims to establish a governance framework whereby a committee of experienced bureaucrats will initially handle Gaza, before passing control to the internationally recognized Palestinian Authority (PA). The long-held goal of unifying Gaza with the West Bank into a single Palestinian state was also emphasized as part of the leaders' agenda at the summit.

However, significant challenges remain unaddressed. The joint statement emerging from the summit did not clearly outline plans for disarming Hamas, which has been a primary point of contention. Both Israel and the previous Trump administration insist on the necessity of dismantling Hamas’ armed faction to ensure security, a condition Hamas categorically rejects.

The only mention regarding security in the final statement alluded to the need for Gaza's future to be controlled by a "single armed force and a single legitimate authority,” raising further questions about who would ultimately hold power. As Gaza's situation continues to evolve, the proposed plan appears to have limits and does little to solidify a clear path forward in the ongoing conflict. The lack of direct action against Hamas remains a significant hurdle in moving towards peace and stability in the region.
